First of all, please make sure to have me in the CC list. I try to scan
qemu-devel regularly, but when I'm busy it can happen that I don't for
some days.

If the patches need rebasing, rebase and resend them. It would be good
if you can limit the list of patches required for 1.1, but if all of
them are true fixes, we can still get them merged. Splitting into chunks
isn't necessary, but it would be helpful if you could put them in the
order of their importance, so that applying the series partially still
makes sense if necessary. Review is always appreciated, but it doesn't
really affect what patches to send.
